HTC Dev Login

So appears that I am rooted except that SuperSU asks to update the binary........over and over and over and.......
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
Beaups, do you think the update will change the CID and/or change a previously issued token? In other words, if we have used your app (or Jcase's method) to change the CID, then root, then lock the bootloader, and accept the update, will the CID still be either 11111111 or 2222222 and the token we already got from HTCdev.com still work???
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
That's an excellent question.

First, we just don't know until we see the update. Second, they have not changed CID (to my knowledge) via OTA in the past. It's technically very easy for them to do that. It's also easy for them to update us to an hboot with the entire unlock routines stripped, but again, never seen that either.

It's just wait-and-see at this point.

I'm in the same boat. I was rooted, reflashed the RUU, and now I can run SuperCID, my CID is the 22222222, I can get the Unlock_code.bin via HTCDev, I can flash it and the message comes up asking if I want to unlock my bootloader. Then, anytime I go into the bootloader, it still says "Relocked".

I've tried 3-4 times now (multiple unlock_code.bin's, reflashed RUU twice, etc.). Anyone have any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? I tried flashed the recovery too but with the "Relocked" at the top, it's not possible.

EDIT: I should note that I have not flashed the new OTA update from today either

Completely shut down phone and then boot to bootloader and re run unlock.bin command again. usually works every time.

OTA seems to have mucked up exploit

Had to warranty replace my DNA today. At the store they installed the OTA update. Got my new phone home and tried to run the exploit, a dozen times. CID still says VZW__001. Seems like the OTA update has messed us up. At least temporarily...

Ran update - aborted

I tried running the OTA update on my rooted, unlocked DNA.

CWM asked me to confirm if I wanted to install an untrusted package.

I selected yes and it promptly errored out with:

I selected the reboot option and I am back to my regular screen, no updates, but luckily phone is not bricked either!

Phew... now to wait for the good folks on this forum to come up with a way to get this update

:good:
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
So let me ask this (I didn't see it asked since the update came out).. IF we still have the unlock_code.BIN that we received from HTC can we still unlock our devices after installing the update? Is the issue just getting the unlock_code.BIN from HTC not unlocking the device?
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
sometimes unlock.bin's work, sometimes they don't. Even if it doesn't, you still will have superCID and get get a new one.

For those asking, in order to take OTA you must:

1.) Be on stock recovery

2.) Be on stock ROM

Then you can take the OTA and flash TWRP back, etc.

But there isn't really much point in doing any of this if you are planning to run custom rom.
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Well there is sorta I would like the new radios. Is the stock recovery around here somewhere?

I just entered the droid dna community hello! I actually just got this phone yesterday and the guy at Verizon allowed the phone to run the ota. Afterwards going home and trying to root, I am unsuccessful... I'm asuming others have been warned not to update. I have spent over 2 years with the droid inc 2 and am happy to join your community
[HTC Droid DNA] EchoX860:
I followed the instructions, downloaded the App, opened it, but unless I'm just stupid I can't even get into the Bootloader, it just reboots, despite me holding Power/Vol Down
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
While booted into android hold the power button until the power menu comes up. Click restart. Now just hold volume down. Don't let go, even if you think it didn't work. Just keep holding it and you will get into bootloader
[HTC Droid DNA] icesteve:
Did you already try adb backup with the right params? That's what I used for my nexus 7, haven't used it on my DNA though.
[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
So I am running completely stock right now. I was about to unlock and root but I decided to wait to see what the update was all about. I deferred the update. I want root but I also wouldn't mind the updated radio if it helps with wifi, etc.

Should I root first or update first, or wait a few more days?

It seems there is conflicting information spanning several threads about whether you can get the update if you're rooted and whether you can root using this method after you have the update.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
Unlock, relock, take the update.

Your unlock file will still work after AFAIK.

[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
Thanks guys! So I'm planning to unlock but not do anything else. Then take the update. Then unlock again using the same file. Then I can still mess around with CWM, other roms, kernels, etc. Or just stay on stock with root for a bit. Let me know if I missed something otherwise thanks for the help!
[HTC Droid DNA] kern3l:
Not needed, you will remain unlocked after the VZW OTA install.

You may install whatever kernel or custom recovery or ROM (from custom recovery) you want.

I recommend making a nandroid backup (in custom recovery) of the stock after the VZW OTA, before flashing a new ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
Thanks for the clarification and advice. You guys are awesome.

[HTC Droid DNA] planedoc:
I relocked, RUU to stock, and took the update. When i try to run cid in fastboot, all i get is 111111. Does that mean that there needs to be an update to unlock the bootloader or do i need to keep trying to get 22222?:confused:

You don't do all that stuff over.

You use the same file you got from HTC when you first unlocked.

[HTC Droid DNA] the720k:
Same situation here. Just bought my phone on Friday and forgot to postpone/cancel the OTA update that the salesman set to happen at midnight. Oh well, it's still early in development and there are plenty of exploits for the devs to find, I'm sure. I can be patient. Besides, HTC will allow users to unlock it one of these days, even if the devs find themselves in an unlikely situation where they hit a brick wall.
[HTC Droid DNA] swamp2:
Ugh, just picked up a used DNA today and I could not get around the OTA dialogs, I think the set date time was perhaps to set the new date/time for the OTA. Now I guess I'll be completely unable to root, install a ROM and really get to using my device. Does anyone have a reasonable guess how long exploits take for these pesky things VZW/HTC do?

That was my understanding as well, in part from some of the creators of this method in this topic. And, unfortunately I did not already have an unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shawnkanan:
So no way to unlock

So as I am reading and trying this I still get vzw_001 but I was hoping there was an alternative if not I was thinking using the flashing material to unbrick and flash back to stock if that would allow us to use this method or if it retros what has been done or the update that I guess took place before I bought the phone.

If you updated before using this to change your CID you cannot use this!!!!

Just got my DNA today - love it..

I have now successfully unlocked my bootloader thanks to this thread :o

I want to get the new Verizon update that came out last week, do I need to root before getting the update?

Or should I wait a little longer to the S-Off process is a little easier to do?

P.S. I am not on Verizon network (Telstra in Australia)

Tks..
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
The s off process is hysterically easy to do. Easier than unlocking the boot loader. Just do that.

I tried but I'm still s on
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:

OK so do I need to root before doing Verizon update and new S-Off process..

i.e. which order should I so things in from here now that bootloader is unlocked?

1) root

2) s-off
[HTC Droid DNA] frostywinter:
Ok thanks - what about the latest Verizon update - when should I install this?

Tks again ..
[HTC Droid DNA] kern3l:
No need to install the OTA, you will be able to flash the new radio / hboot once you're s-off.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Don't.

OK will try root now then S-off

Could someone kindly link me to the best DNA root link here...

If you are already unlocked all you need to do is install recovery then flash a superuser zip.

Download http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip

on your device and flash it in *custom* recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] frostywinter:
Ok but I dont have CWM yet - I will need that first wont I - if so which way is best to get CWM

How I would do it is to download it on your computer, boot into bootloader, go into fastboot, then on your computer type

I have device with volume down button is stuck and forces my dna into safe mode booting. In boot it says relocked and have cid 1111111. I have not got unlock.bin from htcdev and can't get new, because of 160 error. Are there any ways to unlock bootloader?

Re: S-Off

I'm confused about super cid on my dna. I got my bootloader unlocked using this post super cid enabler app then rebooting and finally running through the whole process with htc dev site. Now my phone is rooted and unlocked but when i check my cid it says VZW_001. HTC splash screen shows the message about a phone intended for developing only. Do i have super cid yes or no?

I've tried the super cid app tons of times but i always end up with same cid. I haven't installed latest OTA. I'm on Schatka 2.1 Rom. What can i do to get super cid back? Thanks for answers.

[HTC Droid DNA] Apex i ITR:
So did HTC remove the DNA fro mthe list of devices able to unlock bootloader from their website?

I have my unlock bin file from the first time I unlocked the bootloader. Can i just run the fastboot command with it instead of trying to go through the whole unlock bootloader process again (since it seems HTC has removed our phones for right now)?

Or can I just move on to the S-Off instructions since my bootloader is already unlocked (Shows Tampered Unlocked).
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Yea like the day after it launched...
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
If you have an unlock bin file for your phone from unlocking, you should be able to re-unlock using that same file. People have found that rebooting the phone (after ensuring that "fastboot" under settings/power is turned off) works best before attempting to re-unlock. When phone is powered off, hold volume down (?) and turn phone on to get into bootloader/fastboot. There is a thread on here that describes re-unlocking in better detail.

You don't mention why you are re-unlocking - did you re-lock your phone?

Regarding HTC taking the phone off the list of unlockable devices on htcdev.com: Yes, HTC took if off the list the day the phone was released publicly. The first unlocking of DNA phones was accomplished by changing the CID to 1111111, which htcdev.com supported (rather than the VZW001 which wasn't supported). Around Feb 7, HTC disabled the website from unlocking phones with a CID of 11111111. This app was then updated to set CID to 22222222, which htcdev still unlocks (for now?)

However, once you have an unlock.bin file from htcdev, regardless of whether you have a cid of 11111111 or 2222222, you should still be able use that unlock.bin file to unlock the phone (or re-unlock if for some reason you have locked the bootloader again).

Right now I'm wrestling with Windows 8 and my phone not being seen (I've had issues with this on both my Mac and Windows 8 machine......I have no clue why its so damn hard for ADB and FASTBOOT to just freakin work.
[HTC Droid DNA] rhotondm:
That's what I figured. I will wait patiently for the update.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
if you've unlocked your bootloader before chances are you have superCID you dont need to be in this thread

if/when you get your adb working do a simple

fastboot oem readcid

and if you get all 11111111 or 22222222 then you are good to go to do the s-off steps...
[HTC Droid DNA] motumbo:
You're right. It was my fault, i was using cid getter from play store. It was showing me the backup cid, no the main one. My cid is 2222222. I got S-off easily using the face palm thread.

VZW__001 only for me

I keep getting this when checking VZW__001 and have tried many times. If i want to root but not have s-off do I need this?
[HTC Droid DNA] chipinitiations:
sniff,

According to the developers, you need your bootloader unlocked to root, or flash. If you get VZW_001 instead of 1111111, or 2222222, your bootloader is not unlocked, and you cannot root, or flash.

Do you have the latest OTA update? This unlock method is not working for the latest update, and apparently somebody is working on that.

Folks - Please put your money where your mouth is. I've already offered $20 to the first exploit that gets us back to an unlocked bootloader. I would guess we might be able to help speed things up with some cold hard cash. I'd don't at all mind me being the only offer but multiplying this effect should certainly help. I certainly felt it couldn't hurt to post the offer again. I'm a noob here with this particular phone, just picked it up about 2 weeks or so back. I'm loving it so far and I'm darn anxious to get to a custom ROM, debloat, ad block, etc.
